Cold Morning on the Cuyahoga

While I was composing this shot, birds kept flying in and out of the frame. I knew if I waited long enough a bird would enter the frame long enough for me to photograph it. I didn't know how long I would last. This merganser was very cooperative. The lighting was wonderful for this shot. I was freezing during all of this.
